Make no mistake: Chris Christie is definitely past the Brooklyn Nets leaving his beloved New Jersey.

“They’re not in New Jersey anymore. They’re not my team — I’m a Knicks fan. And so the fact is, I just don’t care,” Christie said Monday a phone interview on WFAN’s Boomer & Carton show. (Hat tip to CBS New York.)

You’ll recall that the New Jersey governor said “good riddance” in 2012 as the basketball team played its last game in the Garden State before decamping for their new facility in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The Nets still practice in East Rutherford, N.J., but Christie told Boomer Esiason that “I don’t root for everybody that pays taxes” in the state. Brooklyn faces the Miami Heat in the second round of the NBA playoffs.

Christie had a somewhat softer response this weekend after getting some major-league ribbing from Joel McHale at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Check out his tweet after meeting up with McHale, star of NBC’s Community, at the Vanity Fair party.
